Breaking Away

2025 Southern Watercolor Society 48th Annual Exhibition

2022 Florida Watercolor Society 51st Annual Exhibition and Travel Show

2022 National Art Exhibition, Visual Art Center, Punta Gorda Florida; Received the "Excellence in Abstraction" award. Dean Mitchell, juror comment: "Uses realism to abstract the rock formation. Great use of negative space and use of line." Listen to Mitchell's comments on the piece:

The immense volcanic rocks formed the walls that towered over us as we made our way quietly through the canyon. The cracks had formed as the rocks cooled, eons ago, creating geometric  patterns, now eroded by time. The raven suddenly appeared in a gap above the boulders, in complete contrast to its silent surroundings: alive, raucous, and free to fly.

The pattern and power of the rock formations provided the inspiration for my series of canyon paintings, created after an immersion experience in the Mojave Desert in Southern California.

Available matted and framed.
